ReadXP vs Casebound

ReadXP turns the quiet habit of reading into a cozy reading tracker and RPG you'll actually keep up with. Log your books, watch your character gain XP, unlock badges, climb career tiers, and build a beautiful book tracker library you're proud of - all offline, all yours. Whether you're a casual reader wanting a gentle reading log encouragement or a voracious bookworm who likes seeing the detailed numbers behind the habit, ReadXP is the ultimate book log that gives your books a second life on the shelf you carry in your pocket. A BOOK TRACKER THAT'S YOURS Complete Book Log: Keep track of every book you've ever read - finished, reading, or on the shelf for later. Three custom shelf views: wooden spines, cover art, or a clean, minimal list. Shelf themes that match your RPG class (Paladin, Scholar, Wanderer, and more). Choose your avatar - your personalized reading log, your unique aesthetic. Fast search, genre filters, and custom shelves for your specific reading projects. READING IS THE GAME Every page you log earns you XP and levels up your character. Level up through career tiers with real titles - from Apprentice to Saint. Pick a character class with unique XP perks and reading abilities. Customize your profile avatar, card color, and portrait. Unlock Ancient Chronicle lore chapters as your reading progress grows. BADGES, STREAKS & QUESTS 80+ badges across pages, books, streaks, sessions, and overall performance. Daily quests that rotate - hit your page goal, log a morning session, add a note. Streak shield protects a missed day when life gets in the way of your reading. Advanced reading tracker goals for daily pages, weekly books, monthly pages, and yearly books. HONEST, DETAILED STATS Comprehensive reading log stats: Pages read, time logged, average speed, and best sessions. Panoramic weekly / monthly / yearly data views. Genre breakdown chart so you can see what you actually read. Best-session leaderboard calculated from your own reading history. Personal bests, visual reading heatmap, and major milestone markers. RPG ECONOMY WITHOUT THE GRIND Earn Shards directly from reading - never paid for with real money. Spend your hard-earned Shards in the Store on cloaks, weapons, rings, and potions. Common to Mythic rarity tiers, with extra XP bonuses per equipped item. Equipment boosts are modest - the real reward is still the reading itself. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Works fully offline after install - a standalone offline book tracker with no account required. Your personal library, logs, and progress live safely on your device. No ads, no social feed, no reading-shaming algorithms. PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) ReadXP is free to use. Premium unlocks the full RPG layer of your reading tracker: Career Path & prestige tiers Class abilities and class-swap Ancient Chronicle lore Mastery Tree skill points Advanced stats and deep goals Available as a monthly or yearly subscription. Cancel anytime. Or you may have the app lifetime for a one-time payment. WHY READXP IS DIFFERENT Most reading apps are either cold spreadsheets or distracting social feeds. ReadXP is neither - it's a single-player reading log wrapped in a warm, hand-drawn RPG universe. It rewards showing up without nagging, celebrates pages without turning your books into a race, and keeps your shelf in a place that feels like a home, not a spreadsheet. Thank you for reading - and for letting ReadXP sit on your home screen.

For serious readers and library builders. People with real shelves who want to know exactly what they own, track their reading honestly, and enjoy the collection they have built. LIBRARY AND LISTS, FINALLY SEPARATE Most book apps blend your shelves, your reading state, and your custom lists into one jumble. When you own 500 books across overlapping shelves, you cannot cleanly answer "what do I actually own?" Casebound keeps your library, a real catalogue with ownership, format, and reading status, separate from your lists, which are tags you layer on top. A book lives in your library once. Lists are zero or many tags applied to it. ONE BOOK, EVERY FORMAT Own the hardcover. Listening to the audiobook. Halfway through the Kindle. That is one library entry with three format records, each tracked separately. Ownership lives on the format, so you can own the hardcover and borrow the audiobook from the library. Stats stay honest: hours for audio, pages for physical, locations or percent for ebooks. No lossy conversion between them. Books finished counts any format. A SHELF WORTH SHOWING Your library is not just a spreadsheet. Arrange it on a real bookshelf, in a floating or framed case, with spine widths that scale to actual page counts. Stack books the way you do at home. Photograph your real spines and see them on the shelf. Earn decor as you read and place it where you like. SESSIONS THAT COUNT Track reading time and pages session by session. Pause, resume, or log a session you forgot to start. See weekly, monthly, yearly, and lifetime stats, plus a reading calendar built from your book covers and a year in review when the year closes. Goals are measured in pages and time, never in book counts. CAPTURE A LIBRARY FAST Scan a barcode and Casebound looks up the metadata automatically. Point the camera at a cover when there is no barcode. Pair a Bluetooth scanner and add a whole shelf in one sitting. Quick add drops a book in with a single tap. Found a wrong page count? Fix it once and the correction improves the shared record for everyone. READ WITH OTHER PEOPLE, OR DO NOT Follow readers whose taste you trust and see what they are finishing. Rate and review books, and read reviews from everyone else. Start or join a book club with real discussion threads. Lend a book and track who has it and how far along they are. Send a book straight to a friend when you know it is for them. None of it is mandatory. Privacy is per book, there is no public profile by default, and you decide what, if anything, is visible. FREE IS USEFUL. PRO IS POWER. Free includes your unlimited library on every device you sign in on, session tracking, streaks and goals, ISBN and cover scanning, reviews, following, lending, friend recommendations, import and export, per-book privacy, and up to 5 custom lists. Pro ($4.99/month or $29.99/year) unlocks unlimited custom lists, advanced stats and insights, unlimited book clubs, the customizable bookshelf, and the Sepia theme. OPINIONATED Casebound measures reading in pages and hours, not in books finished, because book-count goals quietly push people toward shorter books. Your library and your lists stay separate structures, because collapsing them is what broke every app that came before. If those choices are not for you, this is not the right app, and that is okay.
